Answer

$v(\frac{\pi}{4})=\frac{\sqrt 2}{2}i-\frac{\sqrt 2}{2}j$ $v(\frac{\pi}{2})=j$ $a(\frac{\pi}{4})=-\frac{\sqrt 2}{2}i-\frac{\sqrt 2}{2}j$ $a(\frac{\pi}{2})=-i$

Work Step by Step

$v(t)=cos(t)i-sin(t)j$ $=>$ $v(\frac{\pi}{4})=\frac{\sqrt 2}{2}i-\frac{\sqrt 2}{2}j$ $v(t)=cos(t)i-sin(t)j$ $=>$ $v(\frac{\pi}{2})=j$ $a(t)=-sin(t)i-cos(t)j$ $=>$ $a(\frac{\pi}{4})=-\frac{\sqrt 2}{2}i-\frac{\sqrt 2}{2}j$ $a(t)=-sin(t)i-cos(t)j$ $=>$ $a(\frac{\pi}{2})=-i$
